EDIT: it would behoove me to read up on currently running contests and realize why a review looks the way it does before I start judging it. Post left up for entertainment value.

Interesting article, though it's obvious that the game reviewed was merely a good example of a broader point you were making and not so much an analysis of this title. Given the nature of the title, this doesn't appear to be a problem, however.

I own a DS but not a Wii, and given how much REAL gaming this little baby has provided, I personally have no problem with however much fodder Nintendo wishes to add that's of little or no interest to the inner gaming crowd. The Wii is a bit of a different story as I have to search a lot harder for games that I'd like to have.

And Twilight Princess I'll just grab the GC version of, someday. :P

''Yes, yes...but apart from all that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?''

I like this review because it almost feels like EmP is getting something out of his system with this, kind of like that Final Fantasy VII review I wrote a while back.

The one problem that I have with it is that it seems to point the finger solely at Nintendo, when frankly, a lot of the software he's complaining about comes from third-party developers hoping to follow Nintendo's example. It's especially out-of-place considering Nintendo had nothing to do with the game in question, but I doubt this bside fellow was concerned with conveying an accurate tone.
